Hey - guys. Uh...

[A voice post from Jesse? Not his usual style. It sounds like he's outside and struggling to drag something.]

Can you believe there's like no cabs down by Sector 10? Like at all? What's the deal? Tried calling and they won't even come out this way. It's bananas.

So I just, uh -

[He sucks in sharply and stops moving. There's a thump, presumably as he leans against a wall.]

Any one of you guys a healer? Like a healer, not a doctor. I know, I know, it's gonna be dark soon. I'll pay you if you can just, like, get out here. Fast. Before dark. Please.

I, uh... I don't think hearing about how I got a knife lodged in my knee is gonna make her feel any better. Least... Won't make her happy to know exactly how roughed up I got, so why tell her?

[ofthursday]

I won't do so. But be warned she will likely not accept no information as an answer.

[hostage]

She don't accept a lotta things that are good for her, but gotta try anyway.

[ofthursday]

I suppose so.

However, I am not Mary. What exactly happened?

[A knife in the knee isn't accidental, after all, so Castiel is curious.]

[hostage]

I got stabbed.

[ofthursday]

[A small sigh.]

So I'm aware. By who?

[hostage]

No idea.

[That's a lie.]

[ofthursday]

[Castiel isn't good at reading lies unless he's actively using his powers, but he can tell an unlikely situation.]

Did you not know them, or did you not see them either?

[hostage]

It was fast. Didn't get a good look. Plus, you know, I'm like in shock. So...

[ofthursday]

Of course.

[He doesn't push it farther, instead just giving a small nod and opening his incorporeal wings to leave.]

You should go inside before Darkness falls.

[And with that, he's gone in a rustling noise.]
